This was worse than Shockmaster. At least he didn't know that there was a board blocking his feet. Sydal on the other hand botched all by himself.
It sucks since this wasn't such a bad match.

On another note from the Battle Royal, for there being a limited crowd, it was pretty evident how over Eddie Kingston was. He aside from Darby got the biggest pops of the entire match and the crowd was behind him to win
I know they currently kinda have him leaning heel but... idk how long that's gonna last.

Seriously, I looked at the Jacksonville weather and it was 90 degrees farenheit with 80% humidity. There's no way that rope wasn't drenched.
1: if that's the usual case, I'm surprised more top rep moves haven't been botched.
2: does it cool down in Florida? Cuz this has gotta suck for these folks.
3: as much as it sucks, an open air venue is still probably the best place for them if they have to keep releasing new content.

Everyone was kicking off on Twitter because "he nearly broke his neck and people are laughing at him!"
It was f***ing hilarious.

He knew what was about to happen like three seconds before he hit the ground and prepped his body accordingly.

The battle royal was probably the worst environment to go for a top rope move since sweaty bodies are going over them, and it's so late in the match that they haven't been wiped down in a bit.

Jordynne Grace was probably the most famous one I saw, but there was a few. As if botchamania hasn't been a thing for like 15 years haha

Atleast he not Billy Kidman and f*** up the move 90% of the time or did a Lesnar and landed on his head instead of his back. I think this is the first time he actually mess up the move.

Matt Hardy gets knocked out in a high risk move: Deadly serious
Matt Sydal messes up his move and could have injured himself: Funny
Makes sense

Matt landed with the back of his head on concrete from like a 15 foot drop Two incredibly different scenarios. If Sydal was actually hurt, no one would be cracking jokes, he was fine, so people have a laugh about it. Important to note Hardy is fine too, but it was a much more scary situation where no one knew he was truly ok until later.

Yes, if Sydal grabbed his arm and rolled out of the ring... or god forbid landed on his neck this would be a different scenario. He didn't... he landed mostly clean (Again he did hit the top rope a little coming down which probably didn't feel great) but he continued working and didn't look completely out of it like Hardy did landing head first on concrete.

He didn't... he landed mostly clean (Again he did hit the top rope a little coming down which probably didn't feel great) but he continued working and didn't look completely out of it like Hardy did landing head first on concrete. He was up, hitting moves, taking moves, and lasted till the final three of the match, this is why the botch is regarded as funny, because Sydal is ok. The aspect of "This isn't funny, he could have been hurt" kind of takes away from all unintential comedy. America's Funniest Home Videos is built off of falls, spills, and mishaps. Botchamania, the wrestling version of that, is the same. Mistakes happen, as long as the wrestlers/people turn out to be ok, then it's funny, it's just a messup. That's why stuff like The Shockmaster IS funny. If he would have like, broken his neck, no one would remember it fondly, it was funny because he landed on his ass and was fine. Once people realize the person who botched is ok, there shouldn't be shame in finding it funny imo. If Sydal was hurt, no one would have, he wasn't. And I fully expect several Botchamania endings surrounding him

Yeah, I didn't understand the uproar either. Jordynne Grace was probably the most famous one I saw, but there was a few. As if botchamania hasn't been a thing for like 15 years haha Jordynne seemed to be claiming that she had seen people making fun of the Hardy bump, which was definitely a different story than this one.

Epic thread title.
But yeah, that's how it felt. Dude's hot returning talent credibility instantly slipped down in flames.
He went from 100 to 0 in seconds. It was kind of amazing.

Dude even Sydal himself laughted it off on twitter. But for what matters it shows how much a pro he is ,a lesser wrestler could have indeed not managed to save themselves

Was it clarified at all? Looking at the comments some think she's talking about Sydal, others Hardy. The Hardy bump is absolutely nothing to laugh about.
